general , James Redd is your average looking redhead. Nothing more, nothing less. His reddish brown hair is chin-length and feathers out towards the ends, though he tends to keep it simple and parted in the middle. His face is a bit on the thin side though his cheeks and jawline are somewhat pronounced. A light sprinkling of freckles dance across his face as well as the tops of his shoulders, becoming more evident in the summer. He has a dimple on the left side of his face. His mouth often carries a smile, and blue eyes easy giveaway of his mood. He is of average build and wears clothes to further slim down his figure, preferring a darker wardrobe palette and lots of pinstripes with bright accents of color, generally something in red, green, or blue.

He enjoys decorating his person, often wearing accessories such as rings, necklaces, pocketwatches, sometimes earrings, all of it made of gold or sterling silver as anything else turns his skin a wonderful shade of green. He also fancies things like hats, but is not fond of gloves, as he enjoys showing off his hands.

secrets , James is not really James.
how , The internet. James was the first out of the twins to come across the fashion as he had a brief obsession with visual kei. VK->Malice Mizer->Mana->EGL in that order. He never quite grew out of being a kid, and so for him, it was like still being able to play dress up, but not nearly as silly. Merriweather on the other hand, really didn’t take to the fashion until recently, particularly with classical and gothic lolita. She enjoys the modesty of the clothes, though she would still prefer to wear jeans over a bulky petticoat.
general , Merriweather is a no-nonsense type of girl, and so in general, is a solitary type of person. She is the studious, goal-driven one of the twins and, sometimes to her annoyance, carries the responsibility for both twins as her brother seems to care less. She is often seen as bright and a hard worker, but this can also be easily interpreted as overbearing and a stick-in-the-mud. She doesn’t care much for socializing, as she sees a majority of people as unmotivated, lazy, and too self-centered—obviously pessimistic and a bit misanthropic.

However, she can be caring when she wants to be. She is very close to her family and fiercely loyal to those she loves. She’s also quite book and street smart, and if needs be, will work until she gets a solution, and sometimes finds creative ways around problems.

Her brother on the other hand, seems almost the opposite side of the coin. In terms of personality, he is very easy-going and instantly makes friends. He enjoys having fun and so likes to go out and socialize whether that’s at a party or simply going out. He is quite fond of the outdoors, as well as appearance, and so uses the outdoor activities to kill two birds with one stone. The problem, though, is that he can’t, or rather, dislikes, being tied down. He believes in living life to the fullest and letting that philosophy guide his future, much to the annoyance of his sister. As of right now, he is doing a bit of modeling and enjoying life at the academy.

history , The twins were raised in a loving, wealthy household. Their father, Peter, was the CEO of a cosmetic company in France, and their mother a researcher for new, more organic, cosmetic products (which is of course how they met). Despite a somewhat busy schedule, the twins were raised in a loving, healthy family. There was also a fair amount of wealth included in their upbringing, making sure they would never need or want for much. As small children, James and Merriweather were practically one being, never one without the other. Come middle school, however, their differences became more apparent. Merriweather, the older of the pair by two minutes, began to pick up serious interest in her studies especially in the sciences, partially inspired by their mother’s research work. Not that she really wanted to work in makeup, but she enjoyed the idea of research and application. This, unfortunately, made her seem a little weird to her peers, her nose in a book rather than hanging out with others. A fair bit of teasing, and it was enough to begin to sour her mood. Her brother, on the other hand, seemed the average student. He did all right in studies, perhaps a little better than average with help from his sister, but he enjoyed company of his classmates and being out and socializing. However, he wouldn’t stand for bullies and often came to the defense of his sister, even if it meant a little scuffle here or there.

High school, the gap widened. James became less and less interested in studies and wasn’t really sure what he wanted to do with his life. For a while, he tried to follow his sister’s path and invest time into school, but he couldn’t find that interest, that “spark” his sister seemed to have. He almost resented her for it. Almost. Except that it was no one’s fault but his own. Out of curiosity, he picked up modeling, eventually finding some paying work in hand modeling. And he quite enjoyed, seeing as how he already loved decorating his hands with accessories. He learned about Mille-Fueille through a friend and was set on going. The curriculum seemed…well, fun. And he was excited at the thought of meeting people interested in lolita and aristrocratic fashion. Merriweather swayed towards the opposite end of the spectrum, dead set on getting into an Ivy League university and so spent a lot of time at her studies and extracurriculars. It also didn’t help that her brother was no longer home; he was off in his fancy school off in England, and so she buried further into books to keep herself from constantly pining for her other half, even if he was being “silly and irrational.”

Her hard work eventually paid off; upon graduation, Merriweather was offered a full-ride scholarship to Harvard University. To celebrate, they all went on a family trip to the Bahamas, where everyone had a wonderful time but had burns and tans to show for it. Not surprisingly, Merriweather’s life bloomed upon her first year at the Ivy League school being surrounded by people who were just as hard-working and ambitious as she (well, for the most part). James still had two years of Mille-Fueille left to go.

However, James’ future fell into question before he was set to attend his last year of the academy. The twins had taken a quick summer trip to Germany, entrusted with one of the company cars from their father’s corporation. They both made a rather unwise decision to spend a few more hours on the road before calling it a night without regards to the fact they had already spent all day driving. Cue fatigue, and they hit someone head on, spinning off the road.

Merriweather remembered very clearly waking up in the hospital with a few broken bones and colored purple and blue. James was not so lucky. He had a broken leg and some badly bruised ribs, but he lost his vision with some misplaced shards of windshield glass. Return to the academy would be difficult, if not impossible at that point, never mind the fact the boy’s whole life had been turned upside down.

Originally, Merriweather meant to take a semester off for medical leave, and then return to Harvard in the spring. But, due to some medical complications on her end, she would take online classes during the spring as well, and also attempt to finish her brother’s education.

sample post ,
James looked up as he heard a knock on the door, though he had heard the irregular footsteps further down the hall. “Hey, Merri.”

“Hey.” He heard a forced smile in her voice. “Can I come in?”

“Always.” He heard the soft thumping across the room before she took a seat next to the bed. “How’s your leg?” he asked, smiling lightly.

Merriweather sighed. “All right, I suppose. For, you know, being reset again.” She set her crutches to one side and gently clasped one of his hands in both of hers. “How are you?”

“Oh, fine as ever,” he replied, surprisingly cheerful. “Been figuring out this whole Braille thing. It’s not so bad.” He gestured to the books that joined him on the bed, all opened up to different pages. “I’ll get the hang of it.”

A grimace pulled at Merriweather’s face as she looked at the pages of dots and spread out print. He was never much of a book person, a casual reader at most. And so she found it somewhat ironic, if not a little amusing had it not been for the situation. “I know,” she murmured quietly and bit the inside of her cheek. This wasn’t fair. None of this was. She was silent a moment before continuing. “Mom and Dad are taking me to the airport tomorrow.”

“I know, I heard them talking about it last night. You sure you want to do this?”

Merriweather nodded. “I’m sure. I’ll be fine, don’t worry about it. I can catch up online.” She lightly squeezed his hand in reassurance. She didn’t have the heart to tell him that she would have rather been on a plane to Massachusetts as opposed to England, that instead of preparing for her third year of undergrad, she spent endless hours picking his brain about his friends, looking up his yearbook, and scouring the internet about his school. Even if the accident hadn’t happened, she wished she’d have at least visited the school more than once.

If he knew what she was thinking, he chose not to say it aloud. “Mom told me you cut your hair today,” he said, diverting the subject.
